[edit] Sample

Download: complete offline manual for GRAMPS 3.3 (8 MiB)

Converted with Prince 8.0 beta 1, according to the workflow below. Line numbers start anew for each chapter.

[edit] Workflow

Proceed as follows for converting one chapter in the manual to PDF, two columns, A4, landscape, with full resolution images.

1. Download the raw HTML of the chapter's wiki page.
2. Edit the HTML:
   1. Replace:
      • From: src="/
      • To: src="http://www.gramps-project.org/
   2. Regexp-replace (EMACS syntax):
      • From: \(http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/images/\)thumb/\([^/]*/[^/]*/[^/]*\)/[^"]*
      • To: \1\2
   3. Regexp-replace:
      • From: width="[0-9]*" height="[0-9]*" \(class="thumbimage"\)
      • To: \1
   4. Regexp-replace:
      • From: \(class="thumbinner"\) style="width:252px;"
      • To: \1
3. Load the edited HTML in a browser, and then download it together with all images, for local browsing.
4. Convert the modified web-page with images to PDF, using Prince XML and the CSS below.
